greetings,
I am trying to make a menu navigation on the left side of the screen. I have choosen to use absolute positioning for the menu content, and a background color for the color behind the menu.
here is the code i am using for the background area behind the menu;
[CODE]#backdrop_l {position:absolute;z-index: -1; width:140px;height:100%;left:0px; top:0px; background-color:#000033}
the problem is, when I make a page that extends below the default window height, the 100% doesnt continue with the scrolling. it is cut-off at the point where the original window height was.
is there a better code than the 100% besides actual pixel height? I dont want to specify a pixel height because most of my pages dont have scrolling due to small page height and I dont want them to show if they arent being used. if I set the height to say 800px then regardless if my page needs vertical scrolling, it has it.
